Embedded Modules with Freescale PowerPC , QorIQ and Coldfire Processors

TQ Systems provide a wide range of modules and starter kits based on Freescale architectures. All are available with full  software support, including compilers, debuggers, RTOS, UBOOT and middleware.

All TQ starter-kits are provided as open reference designs which can be freely adapted and incorporated in the customers’ finished product, providing a fast-track route to successful project completion.

PowerPC (short for Performance Optimization With Enhanced RISC – Performance Computing, sometimes abbreviated as PPC) is a RISC architecture created by the 1991 Apple–IBM–Motorola alliance, known as AIM. PowerPC, as an evolving instruction set, has since 2006 been renamed Power ISA but lives on as a legacy trademark for some implementations of Power Architecture based processors.

Originally intended for personal computers, PowerPC CPUs have since become popular as embedded and high-performance processors. 

QorIQ  is a brand of Power Architecture-based communications microprocessors from Freescale. It is the evolutionary step from the PowerQUICC platform,  built around one or more Power Architecture e500mc cores and available in five different product platforms, P1, P2, P3, P4 and P5, segmented by performance and functionality. The platform keeps software compatibility with older PowerPC products such as the PowerQUICC platform.

The Freescale ColdFire is a microprocessor that derives from the Motorola 68000 family architecture, manufactured for embedded systems development by Freescale Semiconductor (formerly the semiconductor sector of Motorola).
